TMOUT is a good idea. But the problem is RHEL 3 is already doing it and I would like to turn the feature off or change the timeout. Regarding the SSHD_CONFIG file...it does not work when I played around with the settings. The server already have KEEPALIVE ON. So where is that feature at? Repeating problem: 1) Remote login by sshing into a server -- the server logs you out after 1 hour or a bit less 2) If sshing on the same network, it will not log you out. So where is the feature that logs me off all the time when using a Windows SSH client? ========================================== From: ubergoonz <ubergoonz gmail com> To: me gavitron com, General Red Hat Linux discussion list <redhat-list redhat com> Cc: Subject: Re: Automatic disconnect from host feature Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2005 10:36:33 +0800 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- use TMOUT shell variable ?
